The Crying of Lot 49 Group Read 2024

[Mark Kohut]

page 106...Harper Perennial edition.

....."into the great empty glare of the Oakland afternoon".......along
streets
she never knew, across arterials that even with the afternoon's lull nearly
murdered
her....up long hillsides jammed solid with tow-or-three-bedroom houses:....

Oedipa follows the Trystero postman through the land where the preterite
live....
Pynchon connects the Trystero to them, those who do not communicate via the
USPS, the overt national communication system....

The Trystero is real; it is in touch with the real. This is part of what
Morris means
in his perspective on What is Real in this novel, I want to say....(He
means more than this, but this too,
right? )
